Did you know? We have a new niece! Seems I need to catch you all up! Emma Ruth was born last month. She might not technically be our niece but you couldn’t make us believe it. I didn’t take these pictures with Amy Lynn and Callie Grace, but I think you can...

So, sure, hunting is a lot of work and it takes scouting- and some “luck”. But, honestly, I don’t know that hunting has anything to do with the actual hunting- that’s just a bonus. Because in the end it’s about the smiles. It was probably...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Today I thought I’d share just some of the things I’m thankful for this year. It was hard to choose as I went through my pictures for each month this year- and that’s a good thing. January: Snow! And 15 years of wedded...

Last week, I shared some of the work that we do (or really mainly Cody does) at the deer lease. Another part of the process is scouting. Because of the way the deer lease is set up, it’s really different for deer than it is for turkeys. It’s funny though...

So, tomorrow’s a big day around here- both for Cody & I and for our area. It’s practically a holiday. Deer season begins- well rifle season begins (archery and blackpowder have different seasons). And while Cody has been doing some bow hunting, the...

We had pretty busy weekend, but first some sleep. Thank goodness! Late baseball games are getting me. I’m just too much of a morning person. Although, I slept until after 10:00 Saturday morning! I slept later than Cody! That almost never happens. And, I never...

Yesterday was Reformation Sunday for us and the sermon made me think about our own falsehoods. The Sermon title was “Quakery vs The Truth.” Maybe it was the urge to clean house before A Week in the Life began (which I didn’t do), some of the things...
